Rangers' Spanish legend Nacho Novo believes that the current Ibrox squad should not give up hope of nicking the Scottish Premiership title from bitter local rivals Celtic just yet - using the Gers' experiences in the 2004/05 season as evidence that anything is possible.
The Light Blues currently sit nine points behind Celtic upon the return to top-flight football after almost a month away from action due to the Qatar World Cup; since then, they have inherited a new manager after the sacking of Gio van Bronckhorst paved the way for Michael Beale to take the Govan throne after leaving English Championship side Queens Park Rangers.
The task that Beale has on his hands is evidently seismic, and only the most devout of Rangers fans can still massively harbour hopes of winning the title as Ange Postecoglou 's men begin to run away with what could be a second league title in two years under the Australian. But Novo has refused to admit that his former club will taste defeat in the title race - alluding to the infamous 'Helicopter Sunday' of May 2005 to prove that the unthinkable can be achieved.
